Wonderful family holidays

The Riad is well positioned not far from parts of the ramparts of the old fort and yet within few minutes reach from all interesting places of the Medina, the port and the beach. The approach to the Riad through a long narrow lane does not make for the best of welcome. However, this position has the big advantage of the Riad being free of any kind of noice. The Riad itself is pleasant and adequate in all respects, for 12 people (4 couples and 4 children) on family holiday for 2 weeks. The beds are excellent, and the 4 bathrooms fully equipped incl. towels. We missed to some degree daylight, but appreciate that that is not possible, because of the traditional closeness of one Riad to the next one. The roof terrace was perfect for a calm moment during the day or for sharing the aperitif in the evening. What no doubt made it all so very easy to feel at home in the Riad and in Essaouira as a whole from day one, was the fantastic house maid, Fatouma. Her smiling personality and the readiness, with which she always made herself available, became fundamental in feeling at home for each and every member in our family, including the children. No one of us will ever forget the tour, she arranged to the country side to visit some of her relatives in order to show us how Argan oil is made. The children will for many years have in their memory the goats climbing in the trees. Furthermore, we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated Fatouma’s Maroccan meals including the tasty Tadjin courses, her desserts and birthday cakes - 2 birthdays during our stay.

The Fishing Port drew the fascination of all of us, children as well as adults. The friendly population with its many small shops for selling silverware, woodcutting souvenirs and carpets added to our memories of an unforgettable 2 weeks in an unusual place. The impressing old fortress encircling the Medina and bordering the rugged coast line adds to all this. Also we enjoyed visiting several good restaurants and cafès, just to mention a couple: The vegetarian restaurant Triskala in close proximity to the Riad, The Villa Maroc and the cafè Safran opposite the fishmarket in the Souk. The girls in our family also had great satisfaction in visiting several of the many Hammams spread all over Essaouira.

If you are a family or group looking for a place to stay in Essaouira we can highly recommend this Riad.

Riad Anaïssouira is situated in the very heart of the picturesque and romantic car-free Medina of Essaouira, in a true oasis of calm and serenity, not even 5 minutes' walk from the lively port teeming with activity, the beach and its water sports, the mythical place Moulay Hassan, 2 mns to the famous Sqala of the Kasbah imbued with a medieval atmosphere, its ramparts and canons overhanging the Ocean. Don't miss the magnificent sunsets from over there. Very near all conveniences (groceries, restaurants, greengrocers... and not even 3 miles away from the Mogador golf greens. The craft shops are everywhere around and there is a massage salon and a hammam at some 100 yards from home.

The lovely and trustworthy daily help will be pleased to cook breakfast for you if you like or to prepare some typically Maroccan meals like couscous,tagines or pastillas at a very decent price.

Other Activities: swimming- pools, spas, discovering rural life

The Mogador golf with its two courses of 18 holes - is actually at 3 miles from the Esaouira Medina - at about 8 minutes by car or taxi. Drawn by Gary Player, they offer the players, whether they are amateurs or professionals, a rare experience in the contact of dunes and the forest with the Ocean as a backdrop. In a nutshell, a fantastic location for golf!

Good news is a direct connection from London to Essaouira Airport with Easyjet from April 2015 onwards.
